Abstract :
Cheilitis glandularis (CG) is an inflammatory condition of unknown cause that predominantly affects the minor salivary glands of
the lips. Although a diagnosis of CG is not difficult, its treatment is a challenge. This article highlights the clinical presentation of
the disease together with a case of successful management of this disease using a combination of a steroid injection followed by
a topical immunosuppressor.
